“Do you think my tattoo is cool?” No, I don’t. There are no cool tattoos. “Check out my sleeve!” Oh god ew.
Tattoos themselves are stupid. Doubly so if it’s some media IP. “I put Batman on my body!” “Look at this image of Goku on my calf!” I can’t think of many things I’d want to do less than that.
There are a few narrow exceptions. Chances are yours isn’t one of them.
If you personally like tattoos, fine. I’m not saying nobody should get tattoos because I don’t like them. I’m stating my opinion that tattoos are stupid, and I am stating it here because it is probably not a popular opinion.
The artistry can be impressive. What they do to the human body is horrible.
My body is a temple!
Large, awkward to move, needs constant maintenance.
Crumbling from decades of neglect.
Have you considered some graffiti?
My body is a temple… but it’s a southeast Asian temple covered in monkey shit.
My body is one of those temples in Thailand where they let monkeys shit all over the place.
What do you mean? They do nothing to the human body but add art to it.
Tattoos don’t do anything negative to your body. Unless you’re allergic to the ink or something.
There are definitely risks beyond just allergies. Some small studies have found links with increased cancer rates (for example: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39819495/ ).
That said, I have tattoos, and I’m not saying people shouldn’t get them! Just be aware.
